YOU NEED TO FILE AN AMENDED PETITION OR RESPONSE. ALSO, TO KEEP IT FROM BEING DISMISSED, YOU NEED TO FILE A "MOTION TO SET".
We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options. This is obviously a very important matter, and you should not go in alone.
One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.
Please call us directly to discuss the specifics of your matter, or contact my assistant Gina or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation.

You will need to amend your response to request a change in custody and file a motion to set the matter for either a Resolution Management Conference or Trial, depending on where you are in your case. You can find forms at the Superior Court Self Service Center online at
